Description Telesto 2017-04-25 07:46:25 UTC
Description:
The formula's look quite ugly when saving to doc and reopening them in Word or LibreOffice. Opening the math editor (by double clicking the formula) will fix the rendering issue on Word as LibO. 

Re-saving the file after 'proper' rendering will be permanent in Word (also working for LibO), but not visa versa. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open attached file
2. Save as a new .DOC file
3. Open then new file in Libreoffice

Actual Results:  
Ugly improper rendering of formula's 

Expected Results:
Should look the save as a file saved with Word


Reproducible: Always

Please attach example screenshot from LO and from Office.
Comment 3 Bartosz 2017-04-25 11:10:58 UTC
For me formulas are properly rendered. 
The only issue is with table cells, which are not properly divided

Yep, they turn fuzzy after saving to .doc and reloading. Double click and exit fixes the issue.

Interestingly no problem in 3.6.

Please check if setting the Environment variable EMF_PLUS_DISALE to 1, resolve that issue.
Comment 7 Bartosz 2017-05-04 23:54:15 UTC
Just enter in terminal
export EMF_PLUS_DISABLE=1 
and run LibreOffice from that terminal

(In reply to Bartosz from comment #7)

or even simply
EMF_PLUS_DISABLE=1 libreoffice

Yep, confirm it resolves the issue.

I also can confirm that it looks a lot better with EMF_PLUS_DISABLE. 

However, I want to note that there is still noticeable difference between re-rendering a formula (by entering/exiting the formula editor) and EMF_PLUS_DISABLE. The formula symbols are smaller and bit super-scripted. The font rendering is also different (less spacing, especially the equals sign)

Dear Telesto,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
